Consulate Review: Mumbai, India Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa Event Description Review Date : June 18, 2014 Embassy Review : Wife was there for a couple of hours and overall it was not too bad. First Indian lady asked for passport, DS-260 confirmation and interview later. Asked some basic questions but can't remember the specifics. Gave domestic abuse violence pamphlet and asked her to read it. Next the American officer asked basic questions: 1. How did you meet? Love/arranged? 2. When did you get married? 3. How many guests at the wedding? 4. Where does he work? 5. Where do you work/what do you do? 6. How did he get his citizenship? Asked if she understood the domestic violence pamphlet and what to do in that situation. Then said you are approved, pay the fee before you go to US, and pick up your passport in a week. Two applicants ahead of her were denied. I did frontload the I-130 and NVC docs with additional proof of marriage/relationship, so I think that probably helped in reducing the questions they had to ask her. Rating : Good

*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.

** Not all cases are transfered
